Artistic means of traditional Chinese opera performance

The four artistic means of opera performance are also the four basic skills of opera performance. What are the artistic means of traditional opera performance in China? The following is the relevant content I have compiled, welcome to read, for reference only.

There are certain rules in singing opera, which can be said to be certain. There are certain rules in absorption, articulation, intonation and rhyme, and they are not sung at will.

Henan Opera is a kind of local opera, which evolved from the folk art form, but it also has its own unique singing skills and singing characteristics, otherwise it will not have such a far-reaching impact on the people and will not be circulated for so long. Shandong people ventured into Guandong but failed to bring Shandong opera to the northeast, and Shanxi people did not bring Shanxi opera to the northwest. It can be seen that as a form of local opera performance, it has its irreplaceable unique charm.

The cavity and emotion of traditional Chinese opera singing are all born of words. The articulation and pronunciation of traditional Chinese opera singing are interdependent. Their relationship is like a duck floating on the water. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Yu wrote "Send with Feeling" and "Give Songs Unambiguously", saying: "... words come from the mouth, and words have mouths. If you can't speak clearly, you have a mouth without words, but you have a mouth when you sing, which is different from being dumb. Dumb people can also sing. You can tell by listening to the call sign. Often after a song is sung, the listener only hears its voice and can't distinguish a word, which is annoying. "

Qing Xu Da Chun once said in Yuefu Biography that "every sound is tangible". Yuan Houmian once said in the singing formula: "There are visible voices, invisible voices and invisible voices such as thunder and lightning. Its voice can't be fixed, tangible voice, string of bamboo and silk, etc. Its voice can be fixed, and its voice will change accordingly. If you want to change its sound, you must first change its shape, the sound remains unchanged, and the voice of people is also. "

The phonetic structure of every word in Chinese consists of two main parts-the initial and the final. In China traditional opera, this is called "head, abdomen and tail". When pronouncing words by mouth, experienced actors often don't pronounce words straight, but disperse the pronunciation elements, distinguish the head, abdomen and tail of words, and then pronounce them slowly.

This method of dispersing phonetic elements should be distinguished when singing because of the different element structures. Some use the impact force of rotation; Some use the acoustic energy of decorative sounds; Some use a sound with strong propulsion; Some of them use gradual strength to receive ... In short, there are many ways to use words in China traditional operas, which are highly technical and actually one of the singing skills. The use of qi is also a skill, because it has been discussed, so it is not redundant. )

The use of "strength" is directly related to the pronunciation of words, the expression of feelings and the use of qi. Flexible use in combination with the technical requirements of pronunciation and articulation. The proper mastery of singing strength has a great relationship with the proficiency and clumsiness of singing, and it is also a skill of singing.

"Taste" means rhyme, there must be sound when there is sound, and there must be rhyme when there is sound. When the actor's rhyme is not good, the audience will say, "Not good enough." Actors who sing well are always full of charm. Every word rhymes at the end. When the pronunciation of each word rhymes, it can be read accurately. When the lyrics rhyme, it's easy to sing.

Only when the four techniques of words, qi, strength and taste are practiced well can the artistic effect of sound and emotion be produced.
